Introduction
Placing the Rubber Feet on the Cable Modem
A set of rubber pads have been packaged with your modem.
These pads (or "feet") can be attached to keep the modem from
sliding around on your desktop. You have 2 options for placing
the pads:
Option 1: Attach the pads to the four slight indentations
on the back of the modem.
Option 2: Attach the pads to the "rudders" on the bottom
of the cable modem. Be sure to equally space the pads for
best results.

What the Modem Does

The digital cable modem serves as a two-way, high-speed bridge between your personal computer and a
cable Internet Service Provider (ISP). It converts information that originates from the Internet or your
computer into electronic messages that can be transported over the same wires your cable company uses to
transport video signals.
